Members o.versteer Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 Not particularly a fan, but a real heavyweight of music, sadly almost forgotten these days it seems. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tweedledee Posted January 29, 2009 Members Share Posted January 29, 2009 It is quite sad. He isn't very well known on this side of the pond, but he was extremely influential. One of those guys that a lot of professional musicians list as a primary influence. "Over the Hill" and "Bless the Weather" are two of my favorite songs of his.
